From Slides to Slideshows

Once your presentation is ready, you can take it to the stage and present to your audience using the slideshow viewer. The viewer shows one non-hidden slide at a time and gives you everything you need to deliver a smooth presentation: navigation controls, options for how slides are revealed, animations and transitions, fullscreen mode, and live annotation tools like scribbling and whiteboard.

Slides can be displayed either as whole slides or revealed step by step. Animations can be applied both between slides and within slides for a polished, professional look.

Controls & Buttons

The slideshow has three main sets of controls: a top toolbar, a bottom navigation bar, and annotation buttons overlaid directly on the slide.

Hotkeys and shortcuts – Shows the hotkeys/shortcuts that can be used during slideshow.
Dark/Light Mode – Switches between light and dark themes.
Fullscreen – Makes the slideshow fill your screen or exit fullscreen.
Settings (Options) – Adjusts how your slides are shown:
- Slide Reveal: Show the whole slide at once, or reveal it step by step.
- Animations Between Slides: Turn on/off and choose the animation style for slide transitions.
- Animations Within Slides: Turn on/off and pick an animation style for partial reveals (only available in step-by-step mode).
Presenter view: Opens a presenter view of the slideshow in a popup window. This view shows the current slide, the next slide, slide notes (with the ability to create them if they did not exist), and a timer. Presenter will be able to manage the slideshow from this view and have everthing they did reflected on the main audience view.
Quit Show – Exits the slideshow, closes the presenter view window(if it exists) and return to your slide list.

You can open the Table of Contents from the toolbar. It lists all slide titles, and clicking a title jumps directly to that slide.

Previous / Next Buttons – Move back and forth through slides.
Progress Bar – Shows your current position in the deck.

Keyboard shortcuts for quick navigation:

Backspace, PageUp, and ArrowLeft: Previous slide
Enter, Space, PageDown, and ArrowRight: Next slide

Transitions & Animations

Slides can be displayed in two ways:

Whole Reveal (Default)

The entire slide appears at once.

Partial Reveal (Beta)

Slide content appears step by step, perfect for revealing lists or ideas one fragment at a time.

Animations

Animations make your presentation feel smooth and dynamic:
